“We were very fortunate to have inherited a good municipality with a solid foundation which enabled us to grow from there and ensure we improve on our governance and provide ethical leadership. Those things are important because they manifest in many ways which inspire service delivery, improve the organisation in terms of governance to protect it against criminals,” he said.
Midvaal Local Municipality is part of Sedibeng District Municipality and is surrounded by some of the worst-performing municipalities in the country, Emfuleni and Lesedi. Regarding the dysfunctional nature of the nearby municipalities, the outgoing Mayor believes the biggest contributing factor is a lack of leadership.
The stellar work and leadership in the municipality have had custodians of good governance in awe. Former auditor-general, the late Kimi Makwetu, once exclaimed that Midvaal was one of the few municipalities whose financial statements told a good story of how well the municipality was managed. Baloyi, who is not contesting the upcoming elections, is playing his cards close to his chest and does not want to say what the future has in store for him.Some of the accolades that have been bestowed on the municipality under the stewardship of Baloyi include:PMR Africa awarded Midvaal Local Municipality the Golden Arrow award on March 24, 2021, Sedibeng District, Gauteng province.
